Still snowed in...

Joe & Kurth



It is still really cold here, so we're using that as an excuse to just stay in and do crafts and school work. The car is still covered with snow and not as much melting occurred as I thought it would.

Tonight we met Joe's cousin in Durham for dinner. Kurth and his son Daniel are in the area for Daniel's interview with Duke Medical school. He'll finish his undergraduate in May...and well, Duke may not be a top contender since one of his interviews was in Hawaii. He has another coming up soon with Loma Linda Medial School, a little closer to his home. We decided we hadn't seen each other in at least 10 years at a family reunion in West Virginia. Kurth's family lives in Redondo Beach, California. We had a really nice dinner and a fun time catching up with each other, laughing a lot.

For quite a while, random family members have been commenting on the resemblance between these cousins...and I honestly see it, even more than I see the resemblance with Joe's own siblings. Joe's comment was how strikingly Kurth resembles their grandfather, their mother's father...Grandad Harry Miller. You decide what you see...

Unexpected Blessings, Birds and Bees

Well, yesterday was an interesting day. It came on the heels of a weekend of sickness, both Nate and Joe. Nate was officially diagnosed with croup and exacerbation of asthma and is still taking steroids and sounds worse, but the light at the end of the tunnel is on! Joe stayed in all weekend and sounded almost as bad as Nate minus the wheezing. We kept our family home (even from church, small group, etc) feeling like hermits. And, even though the boys were both sick, I picked up sweet Bella the dog on Saturday from a friend who works with the NC Lab rescue group. We know we eventually want another dog, but not until Nate is old enough to handle it. Bella, a one year old yellow lab- sheltie mix, house-broken, crate-trained 28 pound sweet girl, is going to spend a little time at our house and see how it goes. The kids think we're pet-sitting to help out Mrs. D, which is true, sort-of. The sweetest moment came yesterday when Nate gave a bedtime blessing to Bella the Dog. &qu

Overheard from the front seat of the Mini-van...

Nate: "mommy is E (a friend's son) 2 or 4? Me: "He's 2" Nate: "Well, that's not far from 4" Nate: After a moment "Mommy, How did E's Mommy get the baby sissy in her tummy" Me: "Well, it's pretty cool...God made a very special way for Mommy's and Daddy's to grow a baby in Mommies' tummies kinda like planting a seed" Nate: "Can boys have babies" Me: "No, God just gave mommies the special parts to have a baby in their tummies" Nate: "I want you to get a baby in your tummy" Me: "Well, Mommies parts don't work to have babies anymore" Nate: "Mommy, how old do I have to be to play basketball...."
